Precautions
Location
Using the unit in the following locations can result in a malfunction.
• In direct sunlight
• Locations of extreme temperature or humidity
• Excessively dusty or dirty locations
• Locations of excessive vibration
• Close to magnetic fields
Power supply
Please connect the designated AC adaptor to an AC outlet of the correct voltage. Do not connect it to an AC
outlet of voltage other than that for which your unit is intended.
Interference with other electrical devices
This product contains a microcomputer. Radios and televisions placed nearby may experience reception
interference. Operate this unit at a suitable distance from radios and televisions.
Handling
To avoid breakage, do not apply excessive force to the switches or controls.
Care
If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene or
thinner, or cleaning compounds or flammable polishes.
Keep this manual
After reading this manual, please keep it for later reference.
Keeping foreign matter out of your equipment
Never set any container with liquid in it near this equipment. If liquid gets into the equipment, it could cause a
breakdown, fire, or electrical shock.
Be careful not to let metal objects get into the equipment. If something does slip into the equipment, unplug
the AC adaptor from the wall outlet. Then contact your nearest Korg dealer or the store where the equipment
was purchased.

1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the ToneWorks AX1500G Modeling Signal Processor.
In order to enjoy your AX1500G to the fullest, please read this manual carefully, to ensure maximum
performance. Please keep this manual for future reference.
Main features
• Korg’s modeling technology provides detailed and powerful modeling sounds.
1. Introduction
• 56 types of modeling effect variations are built-in, and a maximum of eight types of effect can be
used simultaneously.
• 48 preset programs (3 x 16 banks) and 48 rewritable user programs (3 x 16 banks) are built-in.
• You can switch between effect channels (A, B) to change the combination of the drive amp effect
and the cabinet effect without switching programs.
• Use the effect block select knobs to instantly switch the effects for each of the five effect blocks
(DRIVE-AMP, CABINET, MODULATION, PEDAL, AMBIENCE).
• You can use the expression pedal to control eleven types of pedal effects in realtime.
• In individual mode you can use foot switches to turn each effect on/off independently.
• The Sample & Play function lets you record a phrase that you play (for a maximum of 8
seconds), and then operate the pedal to play back the phrase.
• The built-in Phrase Trainer function lets you record sound from an audio device or a guitar
performance (maximum 16 seconds), and play it back at a slower speed without changing the
pitch.
• An AUX IN jack is provided so that you can play along with a connected audio device.
• Use the auto chromatic tuner to tune your instrument when the AX1500G is bypassed or muted.

3 Value LEDs
These LEDs will light to indicate the value knobs that can be used for the selected effect
model. From the left, they correspond to value knobs 1—5.
4 Value knobs
When editing, rotate these knobs to modify the value of the parameter assigned to each
knob. From the left, these are value knobs 1—5.
When not editing, these knobs control the parameters of the effect that is assigned to the
DRIVE-AMP effect by the selected program. (Refer to p.12, “Quick editing for the
DRIVE-AMP effect block.”)

The modes of the AX1500G
The AX1500G has three modes: Play mode, Individual mode, and Phrase Trainer mode.
Play mode is the mode in which you can select a program and play it. When the power is first
turned on, you will always be in this mode. You can select from a total of 96 programs that use
high-quality effect models: 48 preset programs, and 48 user programs that allow you to freely edit
the settings to create your own sounds. In addition, you can switch between effect channels A and
B within each program.
With the factory settings, the user programs contain the same data as the preset programs.
Individual mode the mode in which you can use the foot switches (the program switches and
1. Introduction
expression pedal switch) to individually turn each effect block on/off as you play. In this mode
you can switch between effect channels A and B, but cannot switch between programs.
Use Play mode to select programs.
In Phrase Trainer mode, a phrase from an audio device (ie., CD or DAT) connected to the AUX IN
jack or a guitar connected to the INPUT jack can be recorded and looped (played back repeatedly).
You can practice by playing along with the repeating loop. As you can fix the pitch and slow down
the playback speed, the phrase trainer mode is convenient for learning or practicing difficult
phrases.
When you enter this mode, the MODULATION, PEDAL, and AMBIENCE effect blocks will automatically be
turned off. In this mode it is not possible to switch programs or effect channels.
